Now, if we can just keep Roman from eating the soil.

Our little herb garden resides on our deck.I wish I had my very own dirt, but for now, everything must go inside a pot.(the mowing crew here is c.r.a.z.y. they run over everything. tree branches/small children)kidding. but only sort of.Zach and I planted the herbs during nap time.It's fun to chat it up while gardening.I made the little signs from popsicle sticks, paint, and a whiteout pen.I loved my friend Missy's little garden sign and thought it was perfect.We have 4 tomato plants and a zucchini too!An heirloom Mr. Stripey, Patio, Big Boys, and Early Girls.They are resigned to containers as well.I'm crossing my fingers, because in my (short) experience tomatoes really prefer the ground.I hope to prove myself wrong.Signs for the vegetables are in the works.

Of course Lily got in on the action earlier when we planted flowers out front.My kids do love to plant.I think they developed the love because of my mom, who always makes sureto include them in her flower gardening.My mom plants annuals every spring. For as long as I can remember.Her house and deck are always bursting with color. Yay for flowers, yay for vegetables!

i looove herbs!! yours look awesome.you have to let me know how your cilantro does because without fail my cilantro dies every year....like it is currently doing. my basil, chives, oregano and sage are doing great though. i thought it was the houston heat that killed it, but it hasn't been too hot here and it's dying. my lavender is actually blooming here, in houston it didn't. speaking of lavender, yes!! i love mrs. meyers lavender soap. i currently use the basil scented for my linens...they smell so freesshh.
